Accidents happen, often when you least expect them. You might accidentally knock over a valuable vase at a friend’s house, your child spills juice on someone’s laptop, or your dog damages the neighbor’s car. With liability insurance, you’re protected against the financial consequences of damage or injury caused by you, your family members, or even your pets. The same applies to businesses and entrepreneurs.
Liability Insurance
Why take out liability insurance?
Causing damage to others can happen unexpectedly but may carry serious financial consequences. Think of:
- Personal injury: Someone gets hurt because of something you did
- Property damage: You damage someone else’s belongings
- Legal costs: If a claim leads to legal proceedings
Without insurance, you’d have to cover these costs yourself. Liability insurance provides financial protection and peace of mind.
What does personal liability insurance cover?
A personal liability policy typically covers:
✅ Damage to people (injury or harm)
✅ Damage to someone else’s property
✅ Damage caused by children or pets
✅ Damage while staying at someone else’s home or on holiday
Not covered:
❌ Damage caused intentionally
❌ Damage to your own property
❌ Damage during paid work (this requires business liability insurance)
For businesses and self-employed professionals, different rules apply, more on that below.
How much does liability insurance cost?
Premiums vary depending on:
- Whether it’s personal or business insurance
- Your household composition (single, couple, family)
- Your business size and sector (for business policies)
- The insured amount (e.g., €1,250,000 or €2,500,000)
Typical prices:
- Private coverage: from €3 to €6 per month
- Business coverage (e.g., for freelancers): from €10 to €30 per month, depending on industry and risk
